Filipino Web Designer: Crafting results-driven, Interactive Websites
Hi! I'm Dixie R. Pacheco, a Filipino web designer with over 14 years of expertise in creating conversion-driven, interactive websites.
As a seasoned web designer and front-end developer, I specialize in crafting high-converting web experiences for businesses seeking a competitive advantage.
My unique approach combines minimalism, interactive web design, conversion-optimization, and UX design thinking methodology. I transform business visions into engaging, interactive websites that deliver measurable results, helping brands stand out in the competitive digital space.
The Evolution of Filipino Web Design
As the digital landscape evolves, Filipino web designers are increasingly recognized for combining technical expertise with creative innovation.
Having worked in this dynamic field for 14 years, I've witnessed and contributed to this transformation, developing a unique approach that sets me apart in the global market.
Finding the Perfect Balance in Web Design
As a Filipino web designer, I believe a successful website requires a
delicate balance between functionality and aesthetics. This balance is crucial in
today's competitive market, where a unique web experience is needed to stand out.
Too often, websites fall into two extremes:
Moving Beyond Basic Functionality
Many websites fall under the basic, uninspiring category. And some focuses too much on functionality to the point of becoming forgettable. While they still work, they fail to stand out and leave a lasting impression, ultimately underperforming in their business goals. As a Filipino web designer, I help brands avoid this pitfall by focusing on engaging design that connects with their users.
Avoiding the "Awwwards Trap"
On the opposite end, some designers create flashy, trend-focused sites that prioritize showing off technical skills over user experience. These sites usually have endless scroll-jacking and overly complex animations, resulting in poor user experience and excessive loading times, and can negatively impact website performance. These are what I call "awwwards websites", and are usually very "me" focused. They're more about showing off developer/designer skills rather than what value they can give to their users, which can serve its purpose for a front-end developer's portfolio (though most of the time it can be too overwhelming), but for actual business use cases it fails to bring real value. Because at the end of the day, the goal of a business is conversion — more emails, more bookings, more sales.
Instead, I believe in strategic interactive web design. When thoughtfully implemented, engaging elements can create delightful user experiences that boost conversions significantly. Every animation, transition, and interactive feature should serve a purpose – guiding users through your story while maintaining a sophisticated, high-end feel.
What Sets Me Apart as a Filipino Web Designer
In an industry where technical skills are constantly evolving and client expectations are ever-increasing, my approach combines traditional conversion optimization strategies with web motion storytelling. This means paying attention to details, creating work that is not just functional but also beautiful, and never settling for less than the best result. I bring this mindset to all my projects, going above and beyond to meet the highest standards. Through years of working with international clients, I've developed a communication style that bridges cultural gaps while maintaining clear, professional project management.
My core expertise includes:
- Web design and front-end development
- Motion design and visual aesthetics
- UX strategy and branding
- Conversion optimization
- SEO and digital marketing
This diverse skill set allows me to bridge the gap between design, development, and business strategy – creating websites that not only look exceptional but deliver real results.

Case Study Highlight:
Redesigning the Century 21 Pura Vida real estate website was one of my most rewarding projects. The original site lacked the premium
aesthetic and user experience the client envisioned.
My goal was to preserve core elements while elevating the brand image, creating a more intuitive,
functional, and high-end real estate listing platform. I began by understanding the client’s
objectives, target audience, and brand attributes. This process included competitor research
and a website audit. From this, I identified key improvements like optimizing the homepage,
enhancing the above-the-fold area, and designing a minimalist search UI. Drawing inspiration
from successful competitor designs and applying proven UI/UX principles, I enhanced the site’s
user experience. Although the site isn't live yet, the client and stakeholders are thrilled
with the new design.
Additionally, a well-known CRO consultant and YouTuber (Kevin Geary) praised the new design
as one of the most beautiful real estate web designs he’d seen. His positive feedback, given
his expertise in web design best practices and conversion optimization, was particularly
validating.
